Fabulous and fascinating encounter with the St Andrews Botanic garden facilitated by Roxani Krystalli. Thinking about knowledge and pleasure and the senses…and smelling the flowers!

#AcademicTwitter, you are doing your #ADHD students no favors when you tell them, "just focus." In fact, you're giving them the same message that their lack of focus is entirely within their control.
There are more helpful suggestions you can make.
